It’s the classic psychological profile of a woman — if you’re from the 14th century.

In a report designed to clear Gov. Chris Christie of any wrongdoing in the George Washington Bridge controversy, the characterization of Bridget Anne Kelly by Christie’s attorney, Randy Mastro, was a direct lift from “The Old Boys Club Handbook.”

As read by Mastro before a bank of television cameras, the report portrayed Kelly essentially as a woman scorned, saying Christie’s former deputy chief of state and his former campaign manager, Bill Stepien, had been “personally involved,” that she had “seemed emotional,” and that Stepien had ended the relationship.

Despite the fact the investigating attorneys had interviewed neither Kelly nor Stepien, their report implied the two were not speaking at the time the access-lane closures had been ordered, and that Kelly’s jilted-woman status may have been at the root of the order.

It’s the classic psychological profile of a woman — if you’re from the 14th century. It holds that, at times of crisis, women become emotional, irrational, unstable and unreliable.

Mastro told American Lawyer that his report had no sexist undertones. Kelly’s irate attorney, Michael Critchley, begged to differ.

“(T)he report’s venomous, gratuitous and inappropriate sexist remarks concerning Ms. Kelly,” he said, “have no place in what is alleged to be a professional and independent report.”

Venomous, gratuitous, inappropriate. Got that right.

The echo of Mastro’s words had barely died before Senate Majority Leader Loretta Weinberg (D-Bergen) was on television blasting that verbiage.

You want to argue with Weinberg? Be my guest. She’s been in public service not only long enough to have memorized the handbook’s contents, but also to have experienced most of the scenarios perpetrated by its practitioners.

Characterizations of a woman as “delusional,” “out for revenge” or, in the most extreme form, a “slut” have always been ready arrows in the quivers of Old Boys Club members.

In 2012, Rush Limbaugh labeled Sandra Fluke — the Georgetown law student who testified before a House of Representatives hearing in support of women’s access to birth control — a “slut” and a “prostitute.”

In 1991, following hearings in which U.S. Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas’ former assistant, Anita Hill, accused him of sexual harassment, Hill was repeatedly characterized by Thomas supporters as a spurned lover out for revenge.

I am not saying gender assigns all males to the Old Boys Club. Indeed, club membership has steadily declined in the past quarter century. Personally, I know very few men who could be tagged with that description.

But any man who defaults to discrediting a woman’s behavior with sexist stereotypes is a card-carrying member. Case closed.

It is troubling that Christie allowed the remarks about Kelly to remain in the final version of his lawyers’ report. It shows him to be either oblivious to gratuitous character assassination or — on a potentially more practical note — insensitive to the potential blowback of such remarks.

If one of the Republicans’ primary missions for 2014 and 2016 is to woo the female vote, they may want to rethink this gambit.

I’m not passing judgment on Kelly here, by the way. I have no idea what she did beyond sending that now-infamous email saying it’s “time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee.”

But it does surprise me that no one has focused on the implication of her phrasing. “Time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee” patently conveys that message was not the genesis of the notion to interfere with GWB traffic.

Had that been the case, it would have been phrased more along the lines of, “Hey, here’s an idea … ”

No, Kelly’s email was clearly a reference to prior discussion — enough discussion that triggering action could be reduced to eight words. The recipient(s) required no further explanation. The recipient(s) knew what she meant, and acted on it.

Identify that circle of discussion, what they said and when they said it, and you’re a lot closer to the answers than grabbing “The Old Boys Club Handbook” and flipping to the chapter titled “PMS, Unrequited Love and Other Causes of Female Hysteria.”
